Trump was pro gay marriage though. Even Obama was against gay marriage for 7 of his 8 years in office. And he only changed that tune becusse the law was changing regardless of his opinions anyway.

Lmao literally "it's ok when Biden does it"
Umm, Biden has kids in cages right now, sweetie.
Trump was not pro-gay marriage. He made contradictory statements on the topic, and he called the issue "settled" and changed the topic when avoiding the issue. You can see my earlier post in this thread for an extensive list of all the ways the former president rolled back LGBT rights, and I don't remember if my post even included the anti-LGBT judges and justices he appointed. Go look at that post. If you believe the former president was in any way pro-LGBT, I've got a bridge to sell you. It's demonstrably untrue.
Obama was not against LGBT marriage for "7 out of 8 years of his presidency." He was personally against it for 3-4 years of his presidency, while never advocating for any anti-LGBT policies (In 2008, Obama was against the anti-same-sex marriage Proposition 8 in California, and he called for DOMA's repeal, for example). In fact, Obama advocated for numerous pro-LGBT policies during that time, including but not limited to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Let's also not forget that he appointed numerous pro-LGBT judges and Supreme Court justices. Obama's stance on same-sex marriage from 2009-2012 is similar to Biden's stance on abortion now: He's personally opposed, but he thinks it should be legal.
In 2012, Obama came out in full support of same-sex marriage, long before "the law changed" on the issue. The law only changed, in part, because of Obama.
There is a humanitarian crisis at the border as a direct result of the policies of the former president. At the beginning of Biden's term, there were a lot of unaccompanied minors at the border with very little space to put them. Those were the very foreseeable consequences of Trump's illegal asylum policies, and everyone knew back then that this would happen when those policies were inevitably repealed. Fortunately, the Biden administration has been working to actually do something about it, and the number of unaccompanied minors held at the border has dropped significantly as of this summer (the number has dropped 88%), and conditions have improved at the border.
On the same topic, Biden was not the one who instituted the inhumane family separation policy that forcefully ripped children from their families and kept them in poor conditions, all without a formal plan to reunite families. The Biden administration continues to make progress reuniting those families.
Your comments, particularly the ones on LGBT views, are verifiably untrue.

It's interesting (and also horrifying) seeing how ridiculous people in this thread are being. Some of you even seem to be happy Scott Cawthon had death threats against him.
At least in my book, a death threat is as bad as actual murder. No matter which side I look at this situation from, the people making those threats are a MILLION times worse than Scott ever could be. I don't care how controversial the guy's views were. I honestly wish whoever threatened him was imprisoned for a very long time.
I haven't read every post in this thread, but I've read a lot of them, and I haven't seen anyone condone harassment or death threats. All I've seen condoned is the rightful condemnation of his actions.
